Saint-Gobain to build a stone wool plant in the UK
Saint-Gobain has announced the launch of a new low-carbon stone wool insulation plant in the UK, which will be located on a site owned by the Group in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, and is expected to begin production in 2027.
The facility will initially produce 50,000 tonnes per year of high-performance stone wool insulation for the UK market with the potential to double its output to 100,000 tonnes per year. The new manufacturing facility will benefit from cutting-edge technology, including a fully electric furnace, powered by renewable electricity. This flagship investment will help customers reduce the embodied carbon of construction projects by lowering the CO2 (scope 1 and 2) footprint of stone wool insulation1. It will help meet the country’s growing demand for both stone wool and low-carbon solutions.
This project is part of Saint-Gobain’s commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
